By releasing Aaron Hernandez today, Patriots have waived all rights to recoup bonus money or salary through the CBA.

And as I understand it, a cap his is only avoided if the NFL takes disciplinary action. IMO, they will even though AH has been released since technically nothing prevents AH from signing with another team. So, look for the NFL to suspend and the Pats to get Cap relief. Conspiracy theorists please note that this would be the proper thing for the NFL to do to let teams know that they should not hold on to players in situations like AH's based on concerns about cap hit consequences if they act before the NFL.

That was surprise me. I got the sense he was associated with those who did, and probably got involved after the fact, but I guess we'll find out.

after the fact? Have you been paying attention at all? There are video/witness accounts that saw all 4 men together (AH, the victim, Lloyd, and 2 other AH homies), with only 3 of them returning to AH's residence.

How is that "after the fact"? AH was, at a minimum, a witness to the murder, but based on the prosecution's actions today during and after the arrest, it is highly likely that AH will be charged with murder. Also, I believe AH rented a vehicle before the murder. Why? He was near his home, has plenty of his own vehicles... so why? So that no evidence would be found in his own car, maybe? Smells of premeditation.

We're the classy patriots, we condone cheating by our head coach who by the way sleeps with married women, our owner preys on young, dumb women before his wife is even 6 feet under but a potential murderer, nope that's where we draw the line.

Guess I haven't been following the case that closely, cause that sounds worse. I was thinking he wouldn't be hit with the murder 1 charge, but sounds like its a lot worse than i was under the impression of.

what are you talking about? I wasn't up to date on everything. I'm not showing any disrespect to anyone. I just said I'd be surprised if he was charged with murder. Sounds like I should be less surprised... sheesh.

Just a thought and I don't know if anyone else has brought it up.
It seems this whole case has focused on AH, the other two men who were supposedly involved seemed to have dropped totally out of the picture at this point.

Probably because they sold out their friend AH. Lets face it, AH is willing to shoot a guy in the head in cold blood. They'll feel safer with him in jail.
